re: #417 Thanos

Wrong, see my comment above. Exceptions to the general rule are made for many religions in the US, but those which become extreme in their law breaking do get dealt with.

So, it seems to be a case-by-case basis.

But that was my point. If we decide on any religion’s legality on a case-by-case basis, then the possibility exists that some “extreme” religions could be effectively banned — if the courts decide they are sufficiently breaking the law.

By the principle you outline, it would not be unconstitutional to ban certain forms of Islam if the courts decided that their advocacy of sharia or calls for jihad crossed the line.

Agree? Disagree?
